Angel, do you know if Zach told D/D about the specifics of his chat with Eric?

Daniele never promised to not nominate Kail. When they were doing the HOH comp, Kail asked to not be nominated, Dani said I can't promise that, but I promise you won't go home. (pp) Dani obviously promised something that she could not deliver.

BB asks leading questions all the time. It happens every year- it is part of the game. Some feel like the DR is working against Dick/Daniele this week which is why so many people are upset about the DR's influence last night to protect Eric from eviction. However, the next time Dick and Daniele are on the nomination block, I fully expect BB will do the same thing for D/D or other hgs who the producer’s feel would keep viewers watching. Although Dick and Daniele have appeared to mend their issues for now, BB would do anything and everything to ensure the both of them will remain in the house as long as possible. Dick, Daniele and Eric have been BB’s bread and butter since day one, everyone else is just filler. And now that Amber’s comments have reached several media outlets I expect she will be added to the list of hgs the producer’s will protect from eviction so they can benefit from the expected increase in viewership.

Well, I really wanted Eric to go and thought it would happen, but looks like it won't. Actually, seems like it will be better for Jen if he doesn't, which is all I really care about. With Eric there, it doesn't matter who gets HOH Jen will not be put up (finally), and probably won't be for several weeks as the two "sides" battle it out. ED and Danielle will be two biggest targets, hoping ED gets out next week and Eric or Dustin out the week after that.

Why is BB influence out of line? Afterall it is THEIR show, let alone the fact that the whole premise behind "Big Brother is Watching", is to manipulate the HGs.

I also do not see how anyone could think it was in the best interest of Jessica, Jameka, Dustin, or Amber to vote out Eric. Hurt feelings and personalities aside, what were they thinking? Did they really believe that the LCN was going to go back the way it was with Dick and Dani cozy with them and Zach and Jen on the outside? Could they not see that D&D now had a new alliance and would be gunning for them? From a strictly strategic stand, it would have been suicide to vote Eric out. Of course it could still happen. With someone as unstable as Amber who knows. The more I think about it, the more I think Dustin has played a brilliant game the last 24 hours. I have begun to question if he ever intended to have an alliance with D&D, at all. But by making the deal, he took the heat off. Dick quit campaigning to get Eric out because he thought it was done. Notice how he kept Eric from confronting Amber and possibly causing an irraprable rift? He began to plant subtle seeds in Amber's mind last night about how they needed Eric, but never pushed it. While still promising to vote Eric out for her, he gave her time to cool off and begin to think about what voting him off might mean. I think Amber might be one of those people that once they have their blowup and cool down, they lose their anger. Once that happened, he could talk to her logically about the game. Of course all this is just speculationa and Dustin might have just make it up on the fly, but it sounds good. LOL

So can someone who knows what has been happening through the night give a quick summary of where we are on the vote?

You can hate Dustin or you can love him but can you deny that he is playing one heck of a game.

Dipo, from what I'm backtracking looks like they are back to keeping Eric but not letting him know??? If I'm wrong, someone please jump in and correct.

Well you can't say BB this year is dull. I think it's going to be up and down until tonight. Who knows. I don't think Jess wants another week like this last one, so I'm not so sure she won't vote Eric out. Dustin is playing with fire. He only has Jess, Amber and himself playing for HOH. The two girls aren't as keen on being HOH as he is though. If he doesn't keep his promise to D/D he puts a huge target on his back, because not only are all bets off with D/D but with Zach, Jen, Jess and Jameka. The only one that will give him a pass is Amber. His numbers are not as good as he thinks they are.

Caprica, I agree. I still say Dustin is the only one who is really playing this game to his full potential.

My personal opinion: The DR told Amber about the racists comments that are all over the news, and strongly "suggested" it may look better for her if she didn't vote him out this week. I also believe they suggested to Dustin to think about the numbers if Eric is evicted. To me, that is blatant interference in fair gameplay. BB wants their AP in the game and did everything they possibly could yesterday to see that he did.

Neos It's a show that neither you or I created, but Shapiro and Grodman did. They have the full right to run it the way they wish. We had no problem in S6 when they brought Kaysar back in. Whether BB toys with the HGs in DR, is irrelevant, because each HG has a brain, and they can choose to use their own at any time in the show, instead of being led like sheep, by others. That goes for DR and for inside the house. Besides, all the talk here is speculation on what BB says to them. We don't know what they actually do say.

Tanith, I don't think anyone talked to Eric yet. They kind of confirmed it late at night again.

That's why they call these reality shows and not game shows because they influence things. You would never see a Jeopardy contestant put on slop for a week and be put on the show or have his buzzer taken away for 3 questions...

If you are getting paid to be in the house, how is this really a contest? Aren't they all employees who at the end of the "year" vote on who gets the bonus from the boss?

I'll be fine with either of them leaving. I was all primed for Eric to go, but frankly he does add drama to the game. Kail does not. Keeping Eric will certainly stir things up, and I'm ready to never see Kail again. So its all good. Dipo, I read through the live feeds a bit earlier but don't really have a summary of how things went down except to say that it looks like Dustin is going to vote to keep Eric, even though he promised to vote him out. The girls are good with this (they were going to vote to keep Eric anyway for various reasons).

do you know if Zach told D/D about the specifics of his chat with Eric? From what I saw Zach did relay some stuff, but Eric did not tell Zach anything except what everyone already knew. He wants D&D gone and he wanted Nick out too. I am not sure Zachbunny is as smart as he thinks he is. Zach actually gsve up a lot more about himself in that conversation than Eric did.

If the DR had told Amber that the world thought she was Hitler reincarnated she would be more of wreck than she has been all season not mention kissing Eric literal butt.

I knew it! CBS manipulated it. I am more than sorry. This tastes BAD. I also would not at all be surprised if Eric's family did not have a part of bringing this to press attention. This season officially went sour for me if the game was interfered with in this way.

I don't think CBS is giving Amber any news from the outside world. My gosh, in BB2 they didn't tell the HG's about the world trade center for hours and that was news. Amber's comments are manufactured news. On par with the following of Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan. Complete non news. On the other hand, the DR always asks leading questions taking the opposite track from where they know the HG is heading. Before every eviction we see DR's of pros and cons for keeoing or evicting someone. They get these clips from asking the question what's the up and down side for each evictee.
